Koki Fish Market
Koki Market
A traditional seaside fish and produce market where fishing boats land at dawn, with reef fish, lobsters, betel nut and tropical fruit on sale.
Koki Market, on the coast east of the city centre, is one of Port Moresby's most lively markets. At dawn, fishermen unload reef fish, tuna, lobsters and crabs straight from their boats, and alongside are stalls selling vegetables, tropical fruit and betel nut. The market is crowded and pickpocketing does happen, so go with a local guide or driver, carry only a little cash, leave showy valuables behind, and ask before taking photos.
